Quick Glance: Arizona Republicans foil another effort to repeal 1864 abortion ban

Arizona House Republicans once again thwarted an attempt on Wednesday to repeal the state's nearly complete abortion ban from 1864, leaving Democrats without a vote on their repeal bill for the second consecutive week.

Despite facing pressure from influential conservatives, such as former President Trump and Senate hopeful Kari Lake, urging GOP leaders to lift the ban, the Republicans blocked the repeal.

State House Democrats made a procedural maneuver to attempt to suspend House rules and bring the repeal bill to the floor for discussion. However, this action was rejected by the GOP majority, with only one Republican, Representative Matt Gress, crossing party lines to support bringing up the repeal bill.

A similar endeavor to repeal the ban was obstructed by Republicans last week. Following persistent criticism of the law by Democrats both within and outside the state throughout the week, prominent figures like Trump and Lake recognized the political risks and advocated for a change in direction within the Legislature.

Quick Glance: South Korea Objects to Japanese Leaders' Yasukuni Shrine Offerings

South Korea expressed deep disappointment on Sunday over Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's offerings at the Yasukuni Shrine and urged Japanese leaders to show repentance for the country's wartime past.

The shrine is viewed by Beijing and Seoul as a representation of Japan's historical military aggression due to its inclusion of 14 Japanese wartime leaders among the 2.5 million war dead honored there.

The South Korean government calls on Japanese leaders to confront history and demonstrate sincere repentance, which would be a crucial step towards enhancing relations between the two countries.

Despite progress in the South Korea-Japan relationship, particularly in security cooperation, the offerings made by Kishida and some cabinet members at the Yasukuni Shrine have sparked protests from South Korea.

Democratic bills to repeal a 160-year-old abortion ban were blocked in the Legislature.

Arizona's highest court decision upholding a 1864 abortion ban caused chaos and confusion.

Democrats aimed to repeal the ban to protect women's health, facing hurdles in the Republican-controlled legislature.

The uncertainty loomed over whether Republican leaders would allow immediate action on repealing the ban, despite pressure from Democrats and some Republicans.

Quick Glance: Kishida's Promise of 250 Cherry Trees as Gift to Washington

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced a plan to donate 250 cherry trees to the U.S. capital to celebrate the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence.

The announcement was met with cheers and applause from U.S. lawmakers, highlighting the close ties between the United States and Japan.

The relationship between the U.S. and Japan, which spiraled into a catastrophic war between 1941 and 1945, has evolved into a strong alliance, with Kishida being only the second Japanese prime minister to address the U.S. Congress.

The donation of cherry trees from Japan in 1912 has become a beloved annual event in Washington, symbolizing the friendship between the two countries.

Quick Glance: Foreign Leaders Push for US Ukraine Aid, Republicans Turn to Trump

An unprecedented series of foreign officials, including from Japan, Britain, and Italy, have visited Washington in recent months, urging congressional Republicans to approve more military aid for Ukraine.

However, former President and current Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump might hold a different stance that these lawmakers could listen to.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida called on lawmakers to overcome 'self-doubt' about the country's role on the world stage, warning that Ukraine's hopes would collapse without US support.

The visits of foreign leaders to Washington reflect deep anxieties, especially in Europe, about how long Ukraine can hold on without significant new help from Washington.
